Indirect function with national language
Hi,
I read in a post on this site (by Niek Otten in July 2009)that we can have problem with the Indirect function in Excel when we work with people with other languages. My collegue work with Excel 2003 in English and when he use the Indirect function, he don't have any error. If I open the same file on the network in Excel 2003 in French, I see #Ref! error? Can I modify something to don't see the error? I have already change my regional setting to English and I don't have any more idea I am using Windows XP SP3 in French with Excel 2003 SP3 in French. My collegue is working with Windows XP SP3 in English with Excel 2003 SP3 in English. Thanks, Catherine |

Hi Stefi,
The formula give return a date. The format of the date is [$-1009]d/mmm;@. If I change it to General category, I have the error too in French. If I change 1009 for 0c0c (French Canada), I have the error in French. If I change my regional options to English Canada, I have the error. I tried to do a find and replace of the Indirect function (solution propose by Microsoft to solve the ATP function error), and I have the error message in French. Thanks Catherine "Stefi" a Ć©crit dans le message de ... You should post the Indirect formula! -- Regards!

The formula uses R1C1 reference style. Unfortunately these letters (R for
row, C for column) have been translated into their national language equivalents, check it ToolsOptionsGeneral tab, check box caption in top left corner. Replace R's and C's in "R5C" parts of the formula by their national language equivalents, or rather both of you should use the formula below, it gives the same result but independent on national languages: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(5,COLUMN(INDEX(AA9:CB9,MATCH(9.9 9999999999999E+307,AA9:CB9))),4,1)) -- Regards!
